The Denver Nuggets have been reported to have interest in signing Heat-lifer Dwyane Wade, and while most believe Wade would never leave Miami, Tim Connelly and the Nuggets are not letting up.
Reports surfaced earlier this morning that Wade is looking for a two-year, $50 million deal, and the Nuggets are showing him just that.
The Nuggets' two-year offer to Dwayne Wade is north of $50 million, according to league sources, with Denver still hopeful Wade accepts it.

According to ESPN, the Heat’s last offer was for two years and roughly $40 million.
The Heat were more than $10 million short of Denver's offer at last report but most league observers still expect D-Wade to wind up in Miami

If money truly is the issue for D-Wade, then the Nuggets look to be his best option, as the Heat are significantly more cap strapped.
Denver has plenty of space and flexibility to bring Wade in on a two-year deal without hurting their ability to make moves down the line.
